“He held me in his gaze like he needed to. “Do you want to know how it ends?” “Does it end?” He nodded. “It ends a handful of minutes from now. After you’ve won, and there is one less Omen in the world.” He grinned. “It ends when you kiss me.” “You mean it ends after I’ve won, and there is one less Omen in the world—and I hit you as hard as I can.” “With your mouth.”

“The tale you are about to encounter is a true one, but I must warn you, dear reader, that the facts have been sugared with whimsy, marinated in daydreams, and seasoned with a generous salting of exaggeration. I will leave you and your clever brain to decipher the myths from the realities, but do bear in mind that the truth, as Lord Byron once wrote, is "stranger than fiction," and fantasy is a gilded mirror that reflects the dangers, the oddities, and the marvelous wonders of our own true world.”
― Cat Winters, Odd & True
